Who at This Company Already Engages With Me?
EdgeMaya's client, Corvid Analytics, has a quarterly pipeline review tomorrow at 9. Corvid's top two accounts are Halberd Logistics and Northgate Insurance Group, and the CEO wants to know whether anyone there already reads the founder's posts. Answering by hand means scrolling through hundreds of reactions and guessing at employers from headlines. With Flux connected to Claude, it takes a few prompts and a handful of credits.
What you'll end up with
- Current employees of the account who engage with the posts, with their role and how often they engage.
- Former employees who engage, often the easiest people to ask about the account.
- A coverage count that tells you how complete the answer is, and what filling the gaps would cost.
- People who follow both accounts, if you collect both companies' posts.
- A saved segment you can rank, share or download.
Before you start
You need an Edge plan, Flux connected to Claude (see Connecting to Claude), and posts in Flux to check against: your own, or a profile you track, such as a client founder's. Flux counts engagement across every profile you can see in Flux, so if you track several clients, the results mix them.

| Look up a company | 1 per company |
| Find current and former employees who engage | Free |

A typical run for two accounts costs 2–30 credits.
How do I find who at a company engages with me?
Look up the company
Look up Halberd Logistics on LinkedIn. I mean the freight software company, so check the industry before we go further.
Claude uses linkedin_company_info to fetch the company's page: name, industry, size, location and LinkedIn ID. It also saves the company in Flux, which the free checks below need. A lookup by name returns the best match, so check that it's the right one.
Halberd Logistics, software development, 501–1,000 employees. That's the freight software company.
Find current employees who engage
Who currently works at Halberd and reacts to or comments on Ines Marlow's posts?
get_alumni_engagers looks for people who engage with posts you can see in Flux and who hold a current position at the company. It counts every post you can see. If you track several clients, ask which posts each person engaged with to confirm they read the right founder.
Three current Halberd employees engage with the posts: Owen Pryce, Head of Revenue Operations (7 times), Talia Brooks, VP Marketing (4 times), and Sung-min Park, Product Manager (2 times).
Coverage: 11 engagers mention Halberd in their headline, and only 3 of them have job history on file. The other 8 may hide more matches. Filling that in costs about 24 credits.
Read the coverage line before you read the names as a complete list.
Include people who used to work there
Now include people who used to work at Halberd.
The same check widens to anyone with a current or past position at the company. Former employees are often the warmest people to ask about an account, because they know who decides and they don't have to sell internally.
Two more: Renata Silva (Halberd sales director until 2025, now at a logistics consultancy) and Jonah Feld (Halberd solutions engineer until 2023).
Fill in the gaps (only if asked)
Fill in job history for the 8 people who are missing it, up to 24 credits, then run both checks again.
Claude runs enrich_people on the exact people the coverage line named. Each lookup stores the person's full work history, past roles included. Only successful lookups are charged, and people enriched in the last 90 days are skipped at no charge.
Enriched 7 people for 21 credits. One profile wasn't found, at no charge. Halberd now has 5 current employees and 3 former employees engaging with the posts.
Compare two accounts
Who engages with both Halberd's and Northgate's company posts?
get_company_engagement_overlap finds people who react to or comment on posts from both company pages. This only works for companies whose page posts, with their engagers, are in your Flux library, for example through a company stream.
6 people engage with both companies' posts. 41 engage only with Halberd's, and 73 only with Northgate's. The most active is Priya Natarajan, a claims technology lead, who engaged 5 times with each.
People who follow both accounts closely tend to work in the same market, and some will know buyers at both.
Save the names for the review
Put the Halberd engagers and the overlap people into a segment called "Corvid: warm at Halberd", rank it by how often each person engages, and give me five lines I can read out tomorrow.
Claude saves a hand-picked segment with create_segment and add_to_segment, then ranks it with get_outreach_queue by how many times each person has engaged with posts you can see in Flux, all time. The segment appears on the Segments page, where you can download it as a CSV for the client's CRM.
Why does the answer sometimes say "not enough data"?
The company checks match people by job history. People who react to or comment on posts come into Flux with only a name and a headline. A headline like "Helping freight teams scale" doesn't say where someone works, so Flux can't place them until their profile is looked up.
That's why every answer carries a coverage count. When people whose headline names the company have no job history on file, Flux says how many, lists them, and states the cost of filling the gap. When everyone relevant already has history and nobody matches, Flux says so plainly, and you can treat the answer as complete.
Variations
Of the Halberd people who engage, who has engaged most recently, and with which posts?
Run the same current-and-former check for Northgate Insurance Group and tell me which account looks warmer.
For readers who want control over each step:
Run linkedin_company_info for Halberd Logistics and Northgate Insurance Group. Run get_alumni_engagers for each with relation coworker, then relation any. If coverage shows missing job history, run enrich_people on the ids in _meta.next_step with max_credits 30 and rerun. Finish with get_company_engagement_overlap for the two companies.
What it cost Maya
Two company lookups cost 2 credits. Filling in job history for Halberd's gaps cost 21. The checks, the comparison and the segment were free. Total: 23 credits. At 9 the next morning she named eight people at Halberd who already engage with the founder, and one former sales director worth a call.

Brief Me Before a Call
Before a call with someone new, ask Claude for a one-page brief: how warm they are toward you, what they post about, where your topics overlap, and their career so far.
